Dynamic window manager customized to my taste
4a230d362a
This patch currently supports the following requests: * Run custom commands with arguments (similar to key bind functions) * Get monitor properties * Get all available layouts * Get available tags * Get client properties * Subscribe to tag change, client focus change, and layout change, monitor focus change, focused title change, and client state change events This patch includes a dwm-msg cli program that supports all of the above requests for easy integration into shell scripts. The messages are sent in a JSON format to promote integration to increase scriptability in languages like Python/JavaScript. The patch requires YAJL for JSON parsing and a system with epoll support. Portability is planned to be increased in the future. This patch is best applied after all other patches to avoid merge conflicts.

dwm - dynamic window manager
============================
dwm is an extremely fast, small, and dynamic window manager for X.
Requirements
------------
In order to build dwm you need the Xlib header files.
Installation
------------
Edit config.mk to match your local setup (dwm is installed into
the /usr/local namespace by default).
Afterwards enter the following command to build and install dwm (if
necessary as root):
make clean install
Running dwm
-----------
Add the following line to your .xinitrc to start dwm using startx:
exec dwm
In order to connect dwm to a specific display, make sure that
the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, e.g.:
DISPLAY=foo.bar:1 exec dwm
(This will start dwm on display :1 of the host foo.bar.)
In order to display status info in the bar, you can do something
like this in your .xinitrc:
while xsetroot -name "`date` `uptime | sed 's/.*,//'`"
do
sleep 1
done &
exec dwm
Configuration
-------------
The configuration of dwm is done by creating a custom config.h
and (re)compiling the source code.
